Yes, it is helpful in that it reviews all the steps needed to get the
replacement disk labeled properly for a root pool and is identical
to what we provide in the ZFS docs.
The part that is not quite accurate is the reasons for having to relabel
the replacement disk with the format utility.
If the replacement disk had an identical slice 0 (same size or greater)
with an SMI label then no need exists to relabel the disk. In this case,
he could have just attached the replacement disk, installed the boot
blocks, tested booting from the replacement disk, and detached the older
disk.
If replacement disk had an EFI label or no slice 0, or a slice 0 that
is too small, then yes, you have to perform the format steps as
described in this video.
Thanks,
